Hello FFRCNation. I talked to our viewers last night about
what is going on here with Sindile, Sherlock and Fancy. We have been dealing
with medical issues from all three. Sindile has been ongoing for weeks. Fancy for 1 ½ weeks and Sherlock for a week. It is with great sadness to let you know that
Fancy has now crossed the Rainbow Bridge. She was much loved and we so enjoyed
her. It’s no mystery that we are as perplexed by what is going on as are our
vets. All 3 cases has been presented to
all 4 vets of ours. It has also been placed on a vet board for open discussion.
So far, no luck in knowing what has happened. Please know, we do not even know
IF THESE ARE RELATED. Please, let’s not
jump to any conclusions. Blood work on
Sindile will be back soon. All 3 have
been on treatments for weeks or days per our vets. I want to stress to not jump to any
conclusions or to read more into this than what is necessary. It’s being cared
for, it’s being looked after by our vets. We have quarantined and cleaned and
cleaned. I feel “safe” in knowing we are doing what is appropriate. As we know
more, you will also be told. In the
meantime, thank you for loving our Fancy. She was special and so so beautiful
and is missed. We don’t give up easy here and are pursuing what is going on.
This blog will not be very long as it is a very busy day for
me.
We have thanks to give. We are never too busy to be sure our
appreciation is given. We had BOXES last night.

How about an update!
Sherri, our volunteer recently adopted Lewes. He is doing wonderful and
he and Boo have become good friends. They love to play together!
You know how those ads from Ustream are a bit of a
botheration? I so appreciate that you tolerate them as they are indeed “helpers”
to FFRC. For September, our revenue
share for the broadcasts amounted to $1,615.12.
That’s just terrific and so appreciated!
Did you know that we recently went over 16 MILLION total
views on our webcam? Simply amazing. I remember well when the number ticked to
100! We were amazed. We here at FFRC
continue to be appreciative of YOU—you are who makes this webcam
successful. Someone asked me the other
day if it was hard to talk to you all. The answer---not at all! I told him that even though that globe is all
plastic and glass, there’s real people on “the other side”!
Have you walked any miles yet for FFRC? Try that Resqwalk
app—it’s a lot of fun! Even if we are not top walkers, just think how much
healthier we will be!
Big day on Friday! Warped and
Mich will be having a Flash Sale at 3:00, with all the items that Warped just
brought here for FFRC. Lots of wonderful items---the selection is big! Join the
fun—whether you purchase or not, come join the fun! It’ll be a good
get-together! Some of the items that you will see are: catnip pads, catnip
bags, bowl holders, pairs of pillow cases, crate pads, and Warpies (like
biggie/leggy dews).
All is fine here. Kitties are healthy. Lots of lounging
around and playing going on. Such wonderful cats. Little Alphonz is here,
rubbing all over my shoulder and pestering my fingers. He loves everything in
life! He will make a great kitten for a family.
Purrdelerp’s kittens are equally wonderful—so sweet. They purr just looking
at them! Jester is a play-cat. Anything that moves becomes a new toy for him—even
tails that may be swishing! Hoot is awesome---a sweet, friendly girl that knows
how to stare at a person until you feel those eyes on you! Then it’s time to
pick her up and hold her! Cyrus is the
kitten that gets the ornery award for the week. It’s been so nice that we’ve
opened the tilt down window in the Welcome Room. He’s forever “sneaking” up
there, hopping in between the glass and screen and snoozing! He loves it.
Take care, everyone. Please know that this Rescue Center is
so appreciative of each of you. Thanksgiving is one week ahead of us! A
wonderful time to remember to thank someone extra each day this next week.
